5-HIAA (5-Hydroxy Indole Acetic Acid) is a type of serotonin which is produced by the body. It is usually found in the urine and it can be measured to determine if a person has a certain type of cancer known as carcinoid tumors. 5-HIAA 24-hour urine test is a diagnostic test that measures the level of 5-HIAA in the urine over a 24-hour period.
What is the cost of the 5-HIAA 24-hour urine test?
The cost of the 5-HIAA 24-hour urine test in India is around INR:5000. The cost may vary depending on the location and the laboratory where the test is being conducted.
What are the symptoms of carcinoid tumors?
Carcinoid tumors can be difficult to diagnose because they often do not cause any noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, as the tumor grows, it may cause symptoms such as:
- Flushing of the skin
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
How is carcinoid tumor diagnosed?
There are several tests that can be used to diagnose carcinoid tumors, including:
- 5-HIAA 24-hour urine test
- Blood tests to measure levels of certain hormones
- CT scan or MRI to create images of the body
- Biopsy to remove a small piece of tissue for examination
It is important to note that not all carcinoid tumors will show up on these tests, and sometimes a combination of tests may be needed to make a diagnosis.
Conclusion
